 Ooh That Smell April 24, 2008

I started gaming in 1982-3 on a 64K Apple 2+ and started playing FPS with the very first Castle Wolfenstein and I have played FPS and RPG games continually since then. Yup, I am an old guy. I played the first two versions of this game and I found Soldier of Fortune one to be maybe worthy of 2.5 stars. The second version was much better maybe a 3.5-4 star game. It was a better game in every sense than the first. This new title "Payback" is appropriate... I really want my money back. This is one of the worst games I have played in 25 years of gaming. The word sucks shows up a lot in game reviews. This game warrants a rating of "perfect vacuum causing the complete implosion of the universe and the ending of time". I didn't even offer to give this game away. I was embarrassed to even own it. Its been gone and off my PC for months and my computer is still ticked off at me.
 SOF Payback Review March 28, 2008

This game is just average. It has a lot of techinical problems which distracts from playing the game. There is video garbage flashing on the screen while playing, making it hard to recognize the guys shooting at you and their location. This game will not play on Vista, but seams ok on XP. The fire fights are not bad, but the AI is just average. I would give it about 60 out of a 100 score.
Far from the greatest March 4, 2008

AI is horrible and overall it was not the greatest of games. I'd wait till it is in the 10 dollar bin.
 More Bad Than Good February 24, 2008

I had such high hopes for this game when it came out. I must have played through SOF2 at least 5-7 times, not to mention several hours in multiplayer mode. First, the good points. The graphics are very nice. They are much improved over SOF2. Also, I like having a wide choice of weapons and accessories before each mission. Finally, when you reach a checkpoint/savepoint, and it follows a clip from the storyline, you are not forced to relive that clip everytime you die until you make the next savepoint.
Now, for the bad. Unfortunately, as I said before, there is more bad than good. You are not able to lean around corners in this game. For some reason, you are forced to jump out in the open if you want to shoot. Next, I do NOT like the way you have to shoot boss character a ton of times like they're superhuman or something. Certainly not realistic, and SOF2 was excellent at avoiding that. The storyline is terrible, and you will be disappointed when you reach the ending. Also, the weapons are not realistic, although they are close to the real thing. Finally, and this appears to be a disturbing trend among FPS games, the single player game is short, about 10 hours. I, for one, think multiplayer is boring, so I liked how SOF2 took awhile to play through.
All in all, I would say that it's an ok game.
Amazon's still great but the game sucks February 16, 2008

As usual Amazon did thier job just fine but when the game arrived (I own the two previous versions) I eagerly opened it and loaded it on my computer only to find it would not run, it loaded fine but would not start. I immediately went to the internet to find patches or upgrades only to find there were none and no plans by Activision to put any out. Every forum was full of the same complaints I had. I threw it in the trash and will never buy Activision games again. Payback is an apropos title as they should payback all of the money they stole from loyal unsuspecting customers.
